[Tfug] Re: CIS faculty at PCC west disavow existence of Linux classes

[Sam Hart]

Woah, yeah, I didn't mean to start a flame-war with my comment on UA CS 
students (actually, I should've not been so specific, I've had bad 
experiences with CS graduates from many schools ;-)

My main thrust was not to mention how bad or good a particular CS dept 
was, just that, if you want to learn /real/ programming, then I could 
think of no other way than getting involved in some 
Free-Software/Open-Source project. It also teaches teamwork, and 
(possibly) even leadership skils (if the project manager suddenly becomes 
sick of a project and hands it over to you).

Guess it's one of those "forest for the trees" kinda things. Sorry 'bout 
that, folks... guess I'll go back to lurking (joking ;-)

(I also would like to say I agree with whomever said that you get out of 
it what you put into it. But, then again, that was sort of what I 
originally meant).
